ZOS, Seriously, it is time to remove guesting buffs

Rylana · August 2014

Once again no matter what you do, the core issue stands.

Each faction has picked a campaign to send all of their major numbers to as a safe place to get all their buffs so they can then guest with all the bonuses.

Just remove buffs from guesters already. IE: Emperor health and scroll bonuses should only apply on your HOME campaign. Not somewhere you guest, not PvE, nowhere but where your home is set.

This has been going on for months, are you ever going to see the light?

I second this...

Dleatherus · August 2014

part of the draw to get the PvE crowd into cyrodiil is for them to help get the buffs for their PvE runs

not saying i agree with it - just letting you know the 'logic' behind it

FULLY agree that buffs in cyrodiil should ONLY apply to your home campaign

Oh I know the logic, god knows ive taken advantage of it myself when leveling up a new alt. No hypocrisy here at all, but the motivator is what is causing the campaign imbalances.

Its all about the campaign pops for me, and this is the root cause and everyone knows it =/

Agreed that would make sense.

there's a reason we are seeing larger groups of these emps /former emps running together and its not cause they think each other is pretty.

Well they dont guest, they travel to player, or else they wouldn't be able to get AP.

You receive AP for guesting just as you do for traveling to the player.

One emp is bad enough. Groups of them is plain silly..might as well tattoo "please farm me" across my behind.

unfortunatly its just bad decision after bad decision as far as PVP is concerned, the very of idea of PVE/PVP hybrid has proven to be a huge annoyance to both sides, PVEers dont want to go to a pvp zone to do the half *** quests there and PVPers dont want to have to deal with guesting buffs , at least the ones who havent made emp yet, being that leaderboards matter to them.

Signed.
The buff should only apply on home campaign and if they can't make it work then lock people into campaigns. No guests at all if that's what it takes.

Yeap....Guesting Should not give you Home Campaign Stats

This feedback we've been going over for a while and working on getting changes in future updates, but it's not as simple as a switch we turn on or off at this time. It's being worked on and looked into, but as for a specific ETA, we can't give one at the moment.

Glad to read it is being worked on at least.

Thank you for the update.

Thats good to hear it is being talked about. Thats all we really ask is openness, and so far youve been pretty approachable about things.

PvPers are a different breed than your standard fare MMO player, any possible advantage will be used, whether its honorable or not, and unfortunately in this situation the advantage is pretty exceptional. 8 percent crit, about 300 health, 10 percent damage boosts, 10 percent defense boost, etc.

Individually the buffs dont seem nearly as significant, but when you have all of them, its like a whole new tier of vet rank/gear really.
